Top Waterfront Hotel Reviews

Smart Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, spacious. Staff were extra helpful and offered Anniversary gift. We stay here every year. If I have to nitpick- the sheets and pillow topper didn’t quite fit and slid off the bed both nights, but a very minor inconvenience."

Hotel Champlain Burlington, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy walk to the lake and bike trails and only a moderate walk to shops. The view of the lake from our room was great, especially sunrise and sunset. The staff were friendly and more than helpful. I would patronize the restaurant and oyster bar even if I wasn’t staying there it was that good. We definitely will be back."
